Through the program, community members learn about effective gardening techniques while they help tend the garden and grow nutritious fruits and vegetables that are distributed to those in need. Each week, volunteers are invited to come to help plant and harvest fruits and vegetables, pull weeds and learn new gardening skills.
Here are some ways community gardening helps create sustainable solutions to address hunger.
Increases food security and self-reliance.
Turns trash into treasure through repurposing and composting otherwise wasted resources.
Increases vegetable intake and physical activity; freshly harvested produce maximizes nutritional content of food
Fosters community identity and spirit
Saves money on food bills over time
Reconnects people with nature and each other.
Makes beneficial use of vacant or unproductive spaces
